As mentioned in my prior DRaysBay post, the Durham Bulls got hot at the start of May. Their winning streak continued into June. On Tuesday June 14th, they returned to Durham Bulls Athletic Park to open their second home stand of the month. In that series, they were faced off against the Cincinnati Reds AAA team in the International League—the Louisville Bats.
From May 1st through June 12th the Bulls had won five of their six home/away series and posted a 23W:14L record. Entering the six game series with Louisville, Durham’s overall season record was 31W:29L and that ranked them #5 in the East Division standings.
